EDITORS COMMENTS
Cortege of a Mughal Ruler in India: A Spectacle of Power and Grandeur This handcoloured copperplate drawing and engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy, in 1844, offers a fascinating glimpse into the opulent procession of a Mughal ruler in India. The Mughal Empire, which ruled much of the Indian subcontinent from the late 16th to the mid-19th centuries, was renowned for its grandeur and splendour. The image showcases the Mughal monarch, seated regally in a palanquin, carried on the backs of two elephants. His courtiers, dressed in richly embroidered robes and turbans, follow in similar palanquins, also borne by elephants. The procession is guarded by a cavalry and infantry detachment, adding an air of security and military might. The intricate details of the illustration reveal the meticulous attention paid to the costumes, weapons, and accessories of the Mughal courtiers and their guards. The vibrant colours and dynamic compositions of the drawing and engraving further emphasize the grandeur and majesty of the Mughal ruler's cortege. The Mughal Empire's influence extended far beyond its borders, and its artistic and cultural achievements continue to captivate scholars, art enthusiasts, and history buffs alike. This illustration, with its stunning depiction of the Mughal ruler's procession, provides a unique window into the rich history and heritage of this remarkable civilization.
